They provide manual instructions as well, the uninstaller just does that part for you. So if you are worried about their software, just follow their step by step pictured instructions on how to remove it.


From what I can tell, it's just a search engine tool that was probably bundled with some software that you downloaded...


FYI, only download software from the developers site, never from a third party location.
